#oversleeves covers

[clatterbane]

Oh yes, even more reason to try some of this dye!

The oversleeve I had was too loose on my skinny leg, so the prosthetist ordered another one to fit better. Only, they apparently only had the one size down model in Pinkish Uncanny Mannequin tone. 😱

At least it's January in a cold country, is all I can say. Pants legs cover a multitude of sins. Meanwhile, I barely want to touch the thing. The silicone gel lining is even creepier than the neoprene outside.

So yeah, I had been considering picking up that dye for synthetics anyway, and running several things through. (Possibly including the uncanny doll foot cover.) Considering the place I found that iDye Poly cheapest locally is a disc sports specialist, and they're recommending it for dyeing Frisbees and stuff with? With any luck, it can handle a neoprene sleeve and a rubbery foot shell too.

THIS MIGHT BE A SILLY OBVIOUS QUESTION but since his mouth is covered do you pay extra attention to his body language? like the way you can tell he's smiling by the way his eyes are or how you can tell he's nervous because he's fidgeting a little bit? just the little subtle things like that?

YEEEESSSSSS!!! it’s not obvious but he shows a lot more in his eyes than he realises i like to think

eyes being the windows to the soul and things like that 💗

also him being a little quieter when it’s us two in an enclosed space as compared to outdoors

i also had little headcannons for him fidgeting, because he always has his guard on, i imagine that he’s very hyperaware of his surroundings so he’d check corners regularly, eyes dart around more (in his old animation it starts out with his eyes looking behind!)

+ the tapping finger fidget is more obvious here ^_^

like to think he would circle his fingers around th buttons on his oversleeves or rub the tips of his cape when he’s concentrating especially hard, also serving as a self soothing thing ^^ small moments of repetition in his otherwise unpredictable life

[glorioustidalwavedefendor]

So: underwear that covers a lot more skin than a G-string and bra, and fewer items of outer clothing, which are treated more carefully than the way we currently do.

Also aprones, waggoner smocks, oversleeves (plain fabric and waterproof depending on what you are doing) etc ... and specific Wash Dresses that where made from cotton or linen and meant to be washed, so you would wear them during potentially dirty work, though still combined with aprons and oversleeves

And yeah

It is functionally impossible for handproduced textiles to be both ethically produced and accessible.

That's what the barefoot in "barefoot and pregnant" means

Looms have foot pedalls

To properly use them you have to take of your shoes

"barefoot and pregnant" doesen't just mean she is plopping out Babies until she dies, it means every second she isn't doing chores ... she is working ... she is weaving barefoot on the loom

The "great men" of history would have been buck ass nacked, bits flapping in the wind if not armies of unnamed women had spun, woven and sewn away their precious finite live in servitude ...

I'm so pissed right now. I know that fabric has been declining in quality for a while but I just bought new pajamas from kmart and they are literally see through. Not just through one layer of fabric either; I can see through the leg, that is, through 2 layers of fabric. These aren't clothes. I am not exaggerating when I say that I have strained soup through cheesecloth thicker than these pants. These are men's flannel pajamas, the kind people wear in winter, and they are made if shittier thinner fabric than even the most bargain bin bullshit halloween costumes. This "flannel" feels like plastic and is thinner than a chux wipe. Why is this even for sale.

1871 fashion plate showing two women inside, looking out a window. The women are shown mostly from the back.

Left: The woman wears a light purple ensemble. The bodice has a high neck, with a squared collar falling to cover her shoulders. The sleeve is fitted to the elbow. A bell-shaped oversleeve hangs from the elbow and is trimmed in black lace at the opening. There is a fitted undersleeve in darker purple that reaches the wrist. The overskirt is trimmed with black lace and is pulled up at the sides over the hips. The overskirt hangs down in a swag in the back, and is trimmed around the hem with gathers and ruffles. The underskirt is floor length and trimmed at the hem with more ruches and ruffles.

Right: The woman wears a light yellow skirt with small train, with little or no decoration visible. Over the yellow skirt, she wears a wrapper or mantle. It is cream-colored and loose, with long, unfitted sleeves to the wrist. The mantle covers the torso and ends at low hip height. It is trimmed with a very wide band of multi-colored floral embroidery at the wrists and hem, with a narrower section of embroidery at the neckline. There are multi-colored tassels at the bottom hem, sleeve opening, and two large tassels at the low point of the V-shaped back neckline.

Text at the bottom reads (in French):

La Toilette de Paris Toilettes de la Mon. Gagelin - Passementeries et Rubans de la - de la Ville de Lyon - Foulards pour robes de la Malle des Fudes - Parfumeries du Monde Elégant - Modes de la Mon Camille - Machines a coudre Elias Howe

Personnel Files 3: Crowe Altius

Moving down the alphabet from Axis to Crowe, let's continue our deep dives. Crowe stole our hearts with just a few scenes, and deserved so much better. Even if we want so much more, she does have a little more information to go off of than Axis and Sonitus, so let's dig in!

Crowe Altius

From the facebook blurb:

Tumblr Blurb: She is a member of the Kingsglaive and possesses the ability to handle magical powers. Because of the experience of being raised an orphan she cherishes Nyx, Libertus and the other members of the Kingsglaive and thinks of them as family.

Name: Crowe - English: the large-beaked black bird, also many things with a “beak” shape: crowbar (prybar with a “beaked” end), crow (corvus, Roman boarding plank with a beak-like spike to anchor it), etc; a cry of victory/alarm/etc, as the sound a rooster or cockerel makes, or Peter Pan Altius - Latin: higher, deeper (as an adjective and adverb), part of the Olympic motto – Citius, Altius, Fortius (Swifter, Higher, Stronger)

Background: As with many glaives, we don't know exactly where Crowe's from. In addition to the two official descriptions above, we have Libertus's description from the movie: “What a life, huh? She was brought up an orphan. Run out of her village. I still remember the first time I saw her. Scrawny little thing, all covered in dirt. Not a friend in the world. But those eyes...damn. There was something about those eyes. She deserved better. And I would've done anything to give it to–” 

Orphan is mentioned several times, but where she was found and how old she is is still a mystery. She could be the girl in the group photo on Nyx’s corkboard, which still works because Galahd can, wherever you place it, certainly count as the “outskirts of Lucis”. She also could have been found in a different region on a glaive mission; while we hear about Libertus seeing her as a younger sister (to her annoyance, though whether it’s the younger or the sister thing that’s annoying is up for debate), each official blurb mentions the whole glaive is her family.

Equipment: Unlike Axis and Sonitus, Crowe is seen in several outfits, her uniform and a casual version, her undercover disguise, and the concept art of her and her friends in Galahd.

   - Uniform: Crowe’s uniform is drastically different from the mens’, with its higher, heeled boots, skintight leather bodysuit, scalloped standing collar, netting on her shoulder, gem necklace/fastener, and cape, though it shares the modeling of the lapels, cuffs, silver accents, buttons, and hood (and, presumably, but not seen, the cloth mask). Her oversleeves do appear similar to those worn by the glaive next to Luche on the wall and Nyx, though they only wear one and she has two. Overall, her uniform does appear to match the other mages’, down to the red gloves and capes, though the gem might be unique to Crowe; it’s hard to tell because the others wear their cloth masks. (The capes are patterned with an eight-sided geometric tiling pattern, according to the models; I wonder what the pattern represents?) One does wonder how she uses the restroom in that outfit; not quickly that’s for sure. Her messy hair is in a bun, and she doesn’t have any braids, at least not according to her hair modelling video.

[[According to one piece of concept art, she does apparently have a dagger, which can be glimpsed very briefly when the mages are conjuring the firestorm:

Image from the wiki]]

  - Casual - though she rags on Nyx for wearing parts of his uniform to Yamachang’s, she seems to be doing something similar, if the bodysuit and gem are any indication. She wears the same outfit when the news of the truce comes through, though she pairs them with elbow-length black (leather?) gloves and crossed belts like the mens’, though we never see the weapon meant to go on them. The only differences between her battlefield uniform and full uniform seen in the briefing scene seems to be the cloak and hood, which makes sense with the lack of customization among the mages.

   - Undercover - Perhaps because she’s leaving Insomnia, her undercover outfit features actual color: various greens in the shirt and jacket. It might be her own personal style, because it matches the outfit seen in the promo art of her, Libertus, and Nyx working at the bar, albeit with a purple version of the shirt(s). The layered effect also matches Cor’s. She has a knee pad/brace, perhaps for fashion, perhaps as a nod to the king and the tendency of members of the Lucis Caelum bloodline to have knee/hip issues. Her helmet is an orangy-pink, one of the few nods to her supposed theme color of orange, alongside her belt.

[[Gif is from ffxvcaps, still is from @capsource]]

- Dead - Crowe’s skin is very pale white and almost scaly and she has dark streaks running from her eyes, probably an indication of starscourge (does this also account for her very pointy breasts in the body bag?). It could also just be her mascara running from crying as she died, as Luche taunts Nyx; she appears to wear mascara and probably lipstick, though lacks eyeliner on her lids, even the “default dark eyeliner” seen on most women in movies and video games.

  - Alternate Future - Crowe wears a split-sided orange tunic bound by a thick belt-wrap and several beaded belts over a sleeveless skin-tight black shirt and shorts (possibly one garment), plus cuffs around her upper arm, though her feet are invisible.

She has an identical L’il Malbuddy cellphone charm to the one on Nyx’s corkboard (which is there before her body is found, btw).

Rank: Crowe appears to be a leader among the mages, as Drautos addresses her directly when asking for an update on their massive firestorm, though she was not standing at the point of their wedge during the casting. She’s obviously trusted enough no one doubts her being sent on a solo assignment, and was deemed important enough to have killed directly, either for her magic skills (we never see her carrying a weapon, so her martial skills are unknown) or her connections with the rest of the glaives, as a distraction and/or damage minimization.

Personality: Crowe is sure of herself, quick to tease, obviously takes duty seriously but has good personal relationships with Nyx and Libertus especially, worried about the treaty but willing to wait and keep up a positive front. Apparently the hair clip is not her style, whether that’s the hair aspect or the jewelry, though she wears a gold bracelet while undercover.

Relationships: The effects Drautos hands over after her death all appear to be things she was wearing, not things from a barracks, etc., so presumably she has a home of her own somewhere, and Libertus and/or Nyx is her next of kin.

- Libertus - She seems to resent being called a little sister – which could be a general rebelling or genuine distaste. She takes Nyx’s side more than his, defending Nyx against Libertus’ teasing when it gets a little mean (though she adds her own, lighter teasing) reminding Libertus to thank him, calling for Nyx and not Libertus when Libertus is crushed. Those first two could also be worry for his situation similar to Nyx's confrontation about the pills albeit expressed in a rough way, as she doesn't shy away from physical confrontation either.

  - Luche - she seems on fairly good terms with Luche, and is often standing beside him in group shots, but he seems to gloat over her death, though that could be more about the reaction it garners in Nyx at the moment.

  - Drautos - Why did he order her death? If the glaive is a family, did Drautos make a pragmatic choice or a personal one – to let her die before she has to watch as the rest of her family falls?

Behind the Scenes: Voice Actor - Alexa Kahn, who also works with redubbing lines (and could be the woman in the picture on Nyx’s board). Mocap (and, presumable, though uncredited face): Andrea Tivadar, who is also the facial scan for Lady from DMC 5.

As before, we'd love to hear if we missed information, or you'd like receipts on some of our claims, or even just your own theories or fanon regarding our favorite mage.

And good luck with your content creation for Legends week! Please send us an ask if you have any questions or confusion.

What I think of Becoming Elizabeth before release

The visuals/estetics look great. The buildings, interiors, lighting with candles at night-wonderful. The costumes look amazing as well. This looks like the job well done-estetics wise at least.

Of course, if I was to nitpick I’d be force to give the costumes of the main cast 8,5/10. I’d be reducing entire point for the maternity fashion on non-pregnant women, which tbh is a big mistake. (those dresses with ties at front)

But I get how this oversight happened.  They used Thomas More’s family portrait as inspiration and the original does not exist and it’s not always visible in copies that those ladies are visibly pregnant).

Then few mistakes with French hoods, for which I’d take 0,5 points.

They look good on first glance(some very good), and cudos for them to get it that well. But there are the usual problem-not always covering ears, the shape is not correct(too round, not flat enough for the decade),  frill many times was too small, and many look pretty simple(especially on extras, few lace trims(hell no).

But overall the costumes really shows the effort put into this.

Otherwise, of course  I’ve noticed bit more mistakes about the costumes, such as Elizabeth’s fur oversleeves were too thin. But that is about it, for the main cast.

I certainly hope the extras in non-english fashion will be few, and that they are supposed to represent foreigners. Because if they will put them on people playing english, it’d be big mistake.  The foreigners should be at court, no doubt. But we’ll see, how it will play out. 

As for the cast, I think it looks very good. Though there are few mistakes regarding the hair of main cast(royalty I mean):

Edward VI was not blond, but strawberry blond, much to golden strawberry blond. So he and Mary I should have pretty similiar shade of hair.

Yes Mary’s hair was reddish true(got that correct), but it was golden-like liquid gold, she had dark golden strawberry blond hair, like her mother’s. Sadly you can’t tell from any of surviving portraits of her as Queen, because they darkened-and those nowadays sadly show cca the hair the actress has in the scenes. So I get how this minor mistake happened.

Elizabeth’s hair was thebest match in hair colour-between strawberry blond and light red. Bit too curly, for Elizabeth as child/teen. Because in surviving portraits of her as child it is straight, and then her as Queen at 25, the hair is only slightly wavy. I don’t think she naturally had such curls. But it is how we imagine Elizabeth, based upon Elizabethean hairstyles.

Catherine Parr I don’t get how they got her correct costumes based upon her portraits, and not notice the that she didn’t have brown hair in them. She was most likely between strawberry blond and red, redder at roots it seems from her portrait, despite myth that she was platinum blond.

But those are all minor mistakes, all of which I’m willing to forgive, if the story is good. 

And tbh, I am both looking foward to it and I am also dreading some parts of story, which I know are about to come. Because they can be greatly misinterpreted, especially Elizabeth and Thomas Seymour. And I hope that unlike with Catherine Howard and men who sexually abused her as teen, that we will see this tv show condem Seymour’s behaviour as bad. Her as victim in this.

From trailers it also seems as if Elizabeth has bit of crash on Thomas Seymour-I certainly hope, they’ll present it correctly. As wrong. He has absolutely no bussiness making advances to her(even if she had crash upon him), and I hope it won’t be presented as romance, as her being for his advances. (maybe ignorant he is making advances at first, after all she’d very young, but not on board).

So that I hope will be done correctly and Catherine Parr’s reaction also.

I certainly don’t know what to think of Catherine Parr so far. I hope they won’t make her into evil step-mother. Yes, she was blind to her husband’s behaviour for while, but i hope they won’t make her his accomplice.

Another thing I am yet unsure what to think of is, that in trailer there is mention of Edward VI being innocent little boy. Which is not entirely true.  But if they do it as character arc-innocent young boy who inherited throne, being influenced by vicious court politics and turning into somebody else it would be great. 

I certainly hope that level of change pushed upon English regarding religion during Edward IV’s reign won’t be ignored/skipped/brushed over, in the story. Because it is very important for not just Elizabeth, but also as very important factor in Mary’s succesion to the throne, relationship of sisters, etc.

So I am anxious, what the story will be like. I certainly hope close to truth. But at same time I know, that completely inaccurate scripts were aproved  before, and presented as ‘the truthful story/the real story’ to the viewers. We’ll see.

Marchesa Maria Serra Pallavicino (1606). Peter Paul Rubens (Flemish, 1577-1640). Oil on canvas. Kingston Lacy Estate, Dorset.

This is one of the most stunningly lavish portraits ever painted. The sitter is wearing an opulent silvery-silk gown laid over with gold embroidered lace which almost entirely covers the bodice and stomacher and falls in a wide border down the front of the skirt and along the bottom edge. Large golden oversleeves hang from her mid arm and fall to the floor while small stiff ruff-cuffs are worn at the wrist. Her head emerges from a vast white and silver lace cartwheel ruff, the hair dressed high with flowers, sprays of jewels and a white egret feather. She sits on a red plush high-backed chair with a parrot perched on it.

"Today I saw some beautiful purple lilac growing in a garden which inspired me for this Regency post

That exquisite reticule # 1 is one of my top favourites 🤩💜

#1 Reticule France, 1800-1825 Made in plain weave silk with sequins and silk embroidery 10 × 5 3/4 × 5 in © .LACMA

#2 Amethyst parure belonging to Empress Josephine made for her by Jean-Baptiste Dits , of Dits Mellierio Dits. The company is the oldest family-owned jewellery company in Europe, spanning 14 generations. started the company in 1613. In 1815, the company set up shop on the Rue de la Paix, where it remains to this day.

3 Silk slippers 1800-1820 quare toe and throat, flat heel; purple silk with purple silk bow at throat and long purple silk ribbons at each turned side seam; bound edges; cream cotton plaited cord ties at throat; cream leather insole, cream leather sock, cream linen lining; brown leather sole tapering at waist. like these were relatively cheap to produce and the middle or upper-class ladies who wore them might purchase several pairs at a time to wear over the course of a few weeks or months. This was not necessarily because they required a different pair for each outfit but rather because the lightweight soles and silk uppers of these elegant shoes were not very durable.

The square toe and throat style of ladies' slippers or 'sandle shoes' was popular from the 1820s, when it began to eclipse the earlier pointed toe and curved throat style which first came about in the 1790s. Ribbons to tie round the ankles and bows attached at the throat at the front of the shoe were a feature of this type of shoe throughout. ©V&A

#4 Evening dress, c. 1810, possibly Spanish.unknown source

#5 as #2

#6 #7 English Walking dress ensemble consisting of a spencer, dress and bodice of silk applied with silk satin panels, Trimmed with passementerie made Britain, 1817-1820. I love the military influence on this which was lpartly due to the influence of the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). The curving satin bands applied to the front of the spencer are reminiscent of the parallel lines of braiding which extended across the breast of many uniforms. Passementerie in the form of crescent-shaped moulds, looped cord and balls covered in floss silk replace the gilt or silver buttons on some regimental coats. The tassels on the collar ends and cuff bands evoke the tassels adorning boots, hats, sashes and cap lines of military accessories. In place of epaulettes, puffed oversleeves composed of linked bows emphasize the shoulder line. Although this walking outfit is not based on any particular uniform, some garments closely followed certain styles. The uniform of the hussars, who were light cavalry, was particularly flamboyant as it was derived from Hungarian national dress. The uniforms worn during this period were some of the most elaborate in the history of military dress, and their bright colours, frogging, braid and tassels fuelled the imagination of fashion for years to come. © V&A

Love D'Artagnan xxx"

[alounuitte]

Kairi wanted some fairy tale au so I’m trying to decide on what sort of period I wanna take fashion inspiration from...

some notes (skipping huge chunks of time that I don’t care for the styles of lol)

medieval is a rly wide time period but some of the major changes in women’s fashion led to gowns having a kirtle and surcoat, tight lacing across the waist but no flare at the hips yet; long train on skirts which were typically flat or draped in shape, getting volume from the growing width of the skirt toward the bottom; sometimes belted below the breast where the surcoat joins. think maid marian in Disney’s Robin Hood, that’s this era of fashion. smooth, plain fabrics that flowed or draped. Long straight or bell shaped sleeves that fitted to the arm at the top.

Elizabethan: crinoline started becoming fashionable here to give volume to skirts; separate corset/bodice and skirt rather than a long one piece kirtle and surcoat. corsets provides the pinched waist and flare at the hips; might or might not have peplum wings attached. formal dresses often had a two layer skirt, with the upper layer matching the bodice and divided down the front to show the lower layer. Patterned, tapestry-like fabrics, stiffer silks, velvets and taffetas becoming prevalent. Various sleeve styles, flared shoulders on bodices, May show wide sleeves of shift underneath or have stiff oversleeve attached which matches bodice, usually straight, sometimes puffed at the shoulder, not flared at the wrist.

Georgian: the era of ruffles and gathers. dresses had low necklines and wide skirts, returning to the style of robes over single piece gowns, LOTS of brocade silk and taffeta with lace or ruffled silk trim. open robes might show a differently colored kirtle and might be open all the way down or only below the bodice. slim, long waist, flaring into wide skirt, possibly gathered or ruffled over the hips. robes might be laced in front, loose, or pinned at the top. long bell shaped sleeves, straight and tight along the upper arm, or mid length sleeves ending at the elbow with lace trim covering the forearm.

regency: less lavish, single piece gowns with robes, belted under the breast to form an a-line silhouette with a very high waist. straight skirts, with a draped train in the back which may spill to the sides towards the hem, sometimes with bustle or gathered behind the back. puffed short sleeves are in fashion here. low scooped necklines, long gloves, flowing shawls/scarves. embroidered fabrics for the well to do. this is Jane Austen era so pride and prejudice is all about this

Victorian: here come the big silk skirts again, with fewer big cascading gathered ruffles this time. multi layered skirts that pinch in at the waist; separate bodices attached to sleeves. long straight or tapered sleeves for part of the era; looser elbow length sleeves for part. low neckline and decorative bodices with brocade

[clatterbane]

On the plus side, I am no longer providing some free advertising for them.

Ottobo!

The prosthetist took scissors to that liner again after seeing where the top of the socket will go up to on my leg. The oversleeve needs a good few inches of bare skin above the liner so it will seal around the leg properly to make sure everything stays put.

So yeah, that particular conspicuous logo will be totally covered up with this leg on anyway. But, I still found the "Ottobo" pretty hilarious sounding.

Nobody else seemed to find it nearly as funny. This is not unusual.

My first Leg Trying-On Day is coming up way too early in the morning! The fit will no doubt need some adjustments, besides making sure the ankle and everything is set up right. Guessing they may have both of the agreed sockets to try on, since they can work off the same leg cast.

I AM at least going to try standing up on the thing, whether they like it or not. (Probably need me to anyway, to adjust the initial height and all.) I know they're planning some unknown amount of PT supervision to make sure I know how to use it and am at least reasonably safe to send off with the thing(s). And honestly I still have no clue how, where, or when they're planning to do that here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(And how the hell am I supposed to get better at walking around on it without actually having it in my possession to practice with?!)

But yeah, at least having the leg(s) to try on is a metaphorical step forward. Even if I am really not sure when they're planning to let me, you know, actually step forward on it.

And, once again, I am not 70+ or frail in any way--unlike the majority of folks they're dealing with regularly--so hopefully they will take this into account with whatever Robo Leg PT boot camp they have planned. Besides the risk assessments around when they'll be OK with actually letting me take the damn thing(s) home.

Beret sleeves were cut from a circle. There was an opening in the centre for the arm and this was gathered and bound into a band. The outer circle was gathered and set into the armhole. Sometimes a sheer oversleeve of silk embroidered shimmering gauze covered the beret puff. Generally the beret sleeve was worn for evening.

Fashion Beauty Glamour

Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn  (1825–1860), Princesse de Broglie, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, ca.  1852; MMA 1975.1.186

Joséphine is wearing an evening dress of a light blue silk taffeta, very reminiscent of the mid-eighteenth century.  The broad v-neckline and armscyes are trimmed with box-pleated strips of taffeta, and the front appears to be decorated with matching bows, also eighteenth century touches.  Her short taffeta sleeves might be puffed, with the puff folded out into a kind of flat fin; each of these is covered with a wide lace oversleeve and trimmed with blue silk ribbons, and there are also two wide lace ruffles at the bottom of each (and a similar narrow lace ruffle inside the neckline).  The lace resembles the engageantes worn by eighteenth century women.  This period was fascinated with the mid-to-late eighteenth century, in part for the history (Marie Antoinette and her contemporaries had become interesting to French high society almost as soon as the Terror was over) and in part for the aesthetic.  Wide, supported skirts, frothy lace ruffles, self-fabric trim, and pale fabrics were all seen as attractive aspects of Rococo clothing to imitate. Due to the extreme spring of her skirt from her waist, it's likely that she's wearing a cage crinoline.  At this point, the cage was beginning to be worn by the very fashionable - and as a French princess, one would expect Joséphine to be at the forefront of fashion.  She is obviously also wearing a corset and a chemise, which has a very wide neckline to allow it to be worn off the shoulders.

Personnel File 8: Tredd Furia

Our last deep dive before Kingsglaive: Legends, but certainly not the least! There's more than meets the eye with this lynch-pin among the traitors.

From the facebook blurb:

From the tumblr blurb: "Member of the Kingsglaive. His professionalism is high and he’s got top class abilities thanks to continuous training.  His consciousness as a mercenary is high and he participates in the Kingsglaive. Although support and loyalty for the strategy [to sign the treaty] is strong from some of the people, Tredd shows dissent in regards to the political measures [being proposed]."

Name: Tredd - Norwegian - past participle of tread/walk or thread (as in a needle); Middle English - footprints/trail, platform to stand on; of course anything Germanic as a variant spelling of “tread”

Furia - Latin - Fury, rage. It is also used (rather than ira, which has a similar meaning) for the Furies, or in Greek the Erinyes, female spirits of vengeance (usually). [[And sometimes, daughters of Nyx]]

[[Image courtesy of the wiki]]

Equipment: - Battle Uniform - Tredd wears almost the standard uniform associated with the square, grooved pauldron with crossed chains on top of it, with the usual accouterments - an archer-like guard across half his chest under his pauldron that fastens under the arm and has three parallel strips of leather looped diagonally around the chest, his badge attached to his chest on the left, the square belt, his sheathed weapon hanging from it by chains, and an elbow guard on his right elbow, opposite the pauldron. Underneath he wears the same tie-front shirt the other traitors wear.

He has two unique features to his uniform, however - he wears red versions of the standard gloves, though the red is only on the outside, and he has a cape-like sleeve on his right arm, topped with a larger silver epaulet. This could be a rank marker, or perhaps just a decoration, but either way, he loses it or purposefully removes it sometime during the airship fight, and only the taller attachment posts on his shoulder remain.

[[image courtesy of @capsource. Note Tredd's cape/sleeve in the first image. In the second, the strangely blond Tredd from the dropship attack has only tall button attachments on that shoulder.]]

Tredd uses the standard silver kopesh-like glaive blade in battle, but apparently has a smaller blade similar colored similarly to Nyx's Insomnian blade, with a similar hook near the hilt, or stole Nyx's to shave with.

[[Tredd is the glaive that runs down the wall in the opening battle, identifiable by the oversleeve and his visible face, but that means he has a clone who works with the Luche clone, both with covered faces and dark versions of their blades.]]

-Standard Uniform - other than the aforementioned red gloves, and joining the other traitors in his undershirt choice, Tredd's standard uniform is standard. Although, like the other traitors, he apparently knows how to shave and have something other than perpetual stubble. On the other hand, he apparently uses his blade to shave, so being clean-shaven might also be a sign of poor decision making, or extreme trust.

-Tredd's facial scar is quite the doozy, and must have quite the story behind it as well. [[Hopefully it wasn't a shaving accident.]] He is also the only redhead in the movie.

Personality: Tredd is provocative, but calculating. He definitely enjoys his snark, and seems to have a somewhat tumultuous history with Nyx, but he also knows how to use it - his remarks after Drautos’ briefing are very calculated to provoke Libertus and Nyx, and he’s proud he did so. He also is very good at his job, earning the loyalty of both Axis and Sonitus legitimately, and seems to be good at commanding them. Assuming his speech to Libertus is also true as well as provocative, he seems to keenly feel his position as an outsider, and temporary, in Insomnia, and to pay attention to political realities, or at least to people who do.

[[Contrary to popular belief, Tredd is not the glaive Pelna saves in the opening battle; instead, he seems to be listening to Nyx and Pelna snark on the comms, then sees Nyx’s bright warp away, which is what prompts his somewhat fond and somewhat exasperated “Show off” comment. Watch who has face masks up (mystery glaive) and down (Tredd), and how Pelna is not standing by Tredd in the shot when he hears Nyx’s comment with a hand to his ear, when Pelna should be as he just helped up the glaive he rescued, and that the rescued glaive doesn’t have Tredd’s sleeve.]]

[[Nyx's show-off warp, and Tredd noticing it. Potato quality cap comes from youtube. Note the silver epaulet on top of the cape-like sleeve, which appears notched at the top, with a leather strap that runs under the epaulet.]]

Death: Though his death isn't directly confirmed, the pile of Kingsglaive bodies amid the wreckage where Libertus found Nyx’s kukri seems to imply it. But who knows?

Behind the Scenes (actors): Tredd’s voice actor is the very prolific Max Mittelman, another one of the Kingsglaive actors who is involved with the fans. You might know him as Red XIII from FFVII Remake or Ryuji Sakamoto from Persona 5, Saitama from One Punch Man, Plagg from Miraculous Ladybug or both Superman and Jimmy Olsen in various DC movies and series, and many, many more. He, Ray Chase (Noctis' VA), and Robbie Daymond (Prompto's VA) make up the group L.A.V.A. which travels to conventions, streams on Twitch, and performs stage shows. Tredd's mocap work was done by David Nutley, Ravus’s facial scan and mocap artist, and his facial scan was actor and stunt performer Mehran Armando. 

Lots of things are not quite as they seem with this glaive. Notice anything else we missed? Have some theories you'd like to share? Let us know!

As always, we hope this helps! Good luck to everyone working on Legends, which starts next week, 2022/8/7!
